Checking movie quality mode
You can check whether movie quality mode is FINE or
STND by reviewing the on-screen information.
The setting of movie quality mode will not change when the DVD camcorder is turned
off. After recording with “STND”, it is recommended that you return the mode to
“FINE” and then turn the DVD camcorder off, unless you always record with “STND”.
